I've been blessed with six poems presently coming out in PIVOT, an acceptance of my sapphic rendering of Sappho's "Ode to Anaktoria," (hopefully to appear in The New Laurel Review in August), and two poems slated for the next issue of The Raintown Review. In addition, my poems recently received the 2000 Innovative Form Award from the World Order of Narrative and Formalist Poets, along with an Honorable Mention in the Wordsworth category, and an Honorable Mention from Dr. Dorn in the Iambs & Trochees competition.

Jennifer:
That's all you can remember! You mean there's more? Wonderful news, all of it, and I'm especially looking forward to the new Pivot, where a reader can often see a poet in greater depth. Congratulations.
Richard

We must be on the same page. I've got work scheduled to appear in the next issue of Raintown Review, and NLR, still haven't heard back from Pivot. I've also been asked to send some work to ONTHEBUS. Hey, must be the crawfish this year. Mais Oui? Hey, I know North Louisiana need some culture. Congrats on your other awards, etc. You deserve it!!!

Thank you, gentlemen. Richard, you are so right about the added dimensions of those multiple inclusions! I love the issue with those several poems of yours, side-by-side. And Michael, I can't tell you how pleased it makes me to hear that we'll be together again I'm off on vacation now, but when I return, I hope like mad to be able to join you all seriously over on the Metrical Poetry board. In the meantime, a wonderful month to all!
